I think when you reach your 60's you re-evaluate your life. I was nice to our bigot redneck, call a cop over a roach, abusive neighbors for 35 years. I am done. I think it is wonderful when you finally come to peace with who and what you are and like your own company. It takes a long time for that.. I am not done yet, but i am not the people pleaser I once was.
It was a busy life, I enjoy simple things now...oh and a new couch, i enjoy a new couch. But mostly simple things like watching the bees in the swarm, and the squirrels and birds of prey, and everything else nature can throw at me.
